Arthur Hayes explained for 4 reasons: "The big rally in Bitcoin in the last 7 months"

According to Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, the price of Bitcoin will reach 250 thousand dollars before the end of 2025. In a statement made at the Bitcoin 2025 conference held in Las Vegas, Hayes noted that US President Donald Trump will turn to monetary policies instead of tariffs.

"The Fed will accelerate money printing"

"The midterm elections are approaching in the US," Hayes said, adding that the Trump administration would have to abandon its trade policies that have harmed the markets in recent months. Hayes stated that this change would come with new incentives that would ease the economic burden on the public, saying, "The Fed will accelerate money printing."

"The influx of new liquidity into the housing market could increase interest in risky assets"

Among the financial incentives brought to the agenda by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is the re-IPO of the government-controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac since the 2008 crisis. According to Hayes, this move could revitalize the economy by providing cheap liquidity to the housing market and increase interest in risky assets.

"Taxes may be imposed on foreign investments"

Highlighting the possibility of the U.S. increasing its control over foreign capital instead of customs duties, Hayes stated that the taxation of foreign governments' investments in U.S. bonds, stocks, and real estate may come onto the agenda. He argued that this situation would increase interest in gold and Bitcoin.

"Leverage limits may be lifted"

According to Hayes, another important issue on Washington's agenda is the leverage restrictions imposed on banks. The US administration is considering easing the leverage ratios for banks on treasury bonds. This could pave the way for financial institutions to invest in US bonds with "almost unlimited leverage." Hayes stated that this policy would be an extremely positive development for global capital markets.

Similarly, billionaire investor Tim Draper stated in a statement he made this month that regulations for Bitcoin will become more favorable under the Trump administration and that many companies adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset will support this rise.
